- There was once a giant in Dalgan and he used to live near the fourteen weavers. He used to ask the fourteen weavers to make a suit for him every years and if they refused he would kill them. Every year he would ask a weaver in turn to make a suit for him and he used to give them so long to make the suit. He had seven when himself was killed and the rest of the weavers were put out of their homes.
